STORY
To understand the source of Emilyā€™s inspirational verve one only has to listen to what she continually said ā€�my land, this is meā€™. The dotting throughout this work reflects the mythology of her country called Alalgura. The movement between colours indicates the vast sources of bush tucker carpeting the whole country magically transformed after rain.
